I really don't want to talk about cameras, at all.

[@mattih]

New goal in life, get rid of our offices and together build an office thats half as cool as Matt's place haha what a bossss. Oh also this was soooooo good 🙌🏻

[@mattih]

and yes i liked my own comment 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BoxerboyTech]

For sure anything u am in full support

[@AriIsenberg]

@@mattih video posted 1 minute ago… Matti commented 25 minutes ago… 🤔🤣

[@ExplorixGaming]

Matti is definitely a time traveler commenting on a vid before it came out.

[@antongolovko1149]

A talent

[@SamNewton]

I'm so pumped for when you and Matti come tour my 15ft x 15ft studio apartment

[@kaptagn]

Make sure you dust off the ole Kolder frame

[@turningupdb]

I love how Matt has made so much space for the child that is within him. Something tells me this is very important in living a happy and fulfilled life, I mean, look at how much fun he's having!

[@gracebanyan1160]

I need you to know that if you never spoke about cameras again, I wouldn't care one bit. Please just keep talking about stuff you love, the inspiration is infectious af

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I love how passionate he gets about "not giving a shit talking about cameras..." I'm honestly in a huge rut right now and your uploads are always so inspiring, just what the Dr ordered.

[@CroatianTravellers]

👍

[@Nicheless_nick]

Your not lying! I love using his content go get me out of my funks also!

[@BarkandJack]

Photography, watches, mental health, creativity, motivation - I think you just completed KZbin!

[@NikolausHirsch]

Definitely agree 😁

[@MatthewEncina]

I really enjoy this type of documentary content. More of this 👌🏽

[@ThisisFit]

Matt’s use of color and his interest in EVERYTHING-books, history, clothing, accessories is just inspirational on a creative level. Makes we want to make more intriguing, beautiful and offbeat things.

[@jasonchaney5382]

Matt is the living embodiment of ""The camera doesn't matter. What you do with it is what matters."

[@karatjuicepodcast]

This is a whole other level of creative expression! I am glad that I got to witness it. Matt's sense of style is legendary

[@eleventhvision]

Agreed! We have Subbed to yours and would love to have you follow the journey on our end!

[@vasilios1994]

I've had the chance to talk to Matt Barnes over dm a few times over things that were big struggles for me as a new full time photographer. Although I kept things short, I appreciated the fact that he took any time at all to help me, some random dude, out with things that were a make or break scale for my small business. Such a great guy

[@BrittPearceWatches]

This video brought me life and joy and I love what you’re doing right now Peter!

[@eleventhvision]

Subbed!! we hope you can follow our journey too:)

[@cac2244]

Every story you do is exactly that, a story. We came in for the video/photography stuff, but now we are light years away and loving it.

[@marsgizmo]

this is super inspiring ❤️

[@Daan_Spieard]

Matt's place...is...amazing!.. That jukebox... and the trampoline in the middle of the room (and not breaking your head when jumping on it), the slide .. So much to see, love it!

[@aravind767]

I can’t believe you interviewed The Matt Barnes. I had the opportunity to listen to Matt speak about photography as a guest speaker in my class and I was blown away by his creativity. Matt Barnes and Peter McKinnon. This is a combo I never knew I wanted, until now.

[@thenotoriuosbg7372]

I love that this video is all about the images taken and nothing (only a minor mention of the R5c) about the gear that he was using to create those images. Using equipment that allows you to be creative is the key element. If that is the office your in, the camera you use or the props you coordinate, what supports your creativity as that lasts for ever. Love the message Pete looking forward to the videos for this year.

[@kramertribe]

I bet that dude's brain never stops! Love the eccentric personality and church with all of that amazing art and decor.

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

To all of you struggling to figure out who you are... You know who you are already, you just forgot. Matt reminds me of the moment I remembered who I was and that transition took me from an Insurance Agent to a full time Freelance Photographer, pursuing my dream of getting paid to shoot. The dream gets bigger, but I am not writing this comment about that. I want you all to know that the person you are, is rooted in your child mind. I find far more in common with my mature adult self and child self, than the selfish and confused person I was in my 20's. McKinnon, wasn't the guy that helped me find myself, he was the KZbinr I came across when I was considering whether or not I could make it in this industry, that gave me the confidence and understanding to go for it. One of your better recent uploads Pete, they're all good, but this one ticks up a notch above the others.

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

My child like dream is to buy an old Bell 222A (1980's) and convert it to Airwolf, strap some sick speakers to it and make it howl when it takes off. Take it to monument valley for a sick photo session! Wait until you see what I do with my Cyber Truck

[@eleventhvision]

Word ! Subbing to you for this beautiful comment. Would love to see you follow our journey :)

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

@@eleventhvision Subbed right back, great to connect with like minded individuals. If you plan on hitting KZbin hard, keep in touch, I'm sure we can find a way to work together in the future. Take it was bro

[@eleventhvision]

@@JustinBradleyPhotographer We plan on hitting it very hard and we will certainly be in touch. We appreciate you very much. respect. Thank you.

[@vicduncan]

BEST McKinnon mini-Doc YET! Pete is letting people speak without injecting any voice over. Subjects telling their stories in their own words... Well done.

[@NeilEvery]

I love it when someone who is stupidly talented meets someone who is even more stupidly talented. It's what I love about creative expression, like life, the only end point is when the journey is done because your heart has stopped beating.

[@JennaBrown]

I love these episodes where you highlight these amazing talented creatives from all different niches. It is so interesting and I love the filming, editing, storytelling!

[@eazymac71]

Brilliant piece, Peter! This is when you know the work is that good -- when you forget about the shots (the R5C) and become engrossed in the message being delivered, and then at the end realize, "whoa that was nice camera work, too."

[@brenoraffa2750]

Dude the guy is pure inspiration, what a video! I loved how you didn't talk about cameras, but instead inspired me (and I think everybody that watched this one) with the soul of creativity!

[@bexpsd]

Matt Barnes has been one of my favorite photographers for the last 10 years. His work speaks for it's self.

[@coreywirth319]

That dude is inspiring to say the least, great job mimicking his passion and crazy mind because that's a feat within itself

[@kevinreyesphotography]

How invigorating this was Peter! Through this revelation of a video, I realized I’ve gotten so lost in the business and forgotten the personal art aspect of photography. I posses a self portrait and the feelings it invokes within me, so remarkable. This video has reinvigorated that feeling, I want yet so much more! My new aim will be to create more moments like that self portrait. Thank you for this Peter, I’ve been in the dark prior to seeing this.

[@hfaria80]

Keeping a channel like yours alive is something not easy. And you are doing it. Congrats Pete. I am loving this 2022 vids.

[@CoreenMazzocchi]

Love that everything is 100% about the aesthetic and vibe he wants to create, and not the camera. He expresses that so well.

[@Idrisaleshinloye]

True friendship is rare to have, but if you have any. hold them tight and grow together

[@HDMI-VGA]

I was lucky enough to have Matt as a guest speaker in my Photography class, his style and the photos he makes are awesome! getting to listen to him speak in person was great too..Epic vid!!

[@CTOLARSSON]

OMG what a transformative video. Time to go BOLDER, more TRUE to myself. Thank you for making this video. I left a different person than when I started watching it.

[@QuantayPeoples]

4:00 this right here hurt Peter internally so damn much.

[@OneYouTubeWatcher]

😂😄😵 oof!💀

[@DroidEater]

The guy, his work, his church but also the way and style the video is shot are so great and inspiring. I love it!

[@mattridley8995]

I'm so stoked for the new format. I am glued to this video, already exited for the next upload.

[@clairelg3283]

[@justinlaurens]

Love these kinda vids Pete! 🙌 Really, really love em!

[@LensEthics]

LOOOOOOVED IT! Matt's work is amazing! AND about the camera --- this is by far the best video I've seen about a camera without being about a camera. ❤ I must have that slide in my living room!

[@SteveLaMotteoc]

Peter your artistic abilities and storytelling are becoming some of the best in the industry. This is one of the best videos you’ve done

[@kimmartinez0101]

When you are loving what you do, it glows through, inspires and creates more smiles in the world! What do you do with 90,000 sounds? You listen. Keep on making stuff.

[@keithsummers_]

Love how Matt talks about the details he puts into his shoots: the wardrobe and the style. The New Orleans photos were tight.

[@jwrphotographs4036]

Fantastic video Pete. I think this has to be one of my favourites you've created in a while, just because it is so different from all of your other videos. The way you edited, the content you shared of your day with Matt, the stories he gave - it all left me wanting to learn more about who he is and what he does. Honestly, this could (actually should) become a regular featurette on your channel, sharing the stories of other interesting creators that you've had the opportunity to meet through your craft. Very well done good sir

[@shoop4040]

OH MY GOD < HOW FUN WAS THAT! I am now in my mid 50's, I find that artistic expression comes from within your soul your feeling- But If you push too hard it comes out fake or flat.

[@davon.michel]

This video literally helped me so much. I'm self taught portrait photography. I got good at taking portraits but I wanted something more. I knew something was missing and I stopped taking photos. I realized the problem was that I wanted to express mys creativity with wild ideas but I was always scared too because I though it's not what people wanted to see. This video gave me to reassurance that it's okay to express myself and that anything is possible, all I have to do is dream.

[@shantellaird5072]

PETER! I love these videos featuring different photographers is dope AF! So inspiring, and I love that I am learning about other super talented fellow Canadian photographers! This just lit me up! Thank you! ✌

[@padraicomeara]

What a pleasure to see you enjoying yourself and getting to know Matt. I'd love to see you do more of these with other people who inspire you.

[@marclindeman6704]

WOW! We actually hired Matt Barnes about 5 years ago for a 1 day shoot,. He was incredible, and we ended up with the most amazing pictures. One of the locations was that church when he first bought it. ANNNND!, he hire an OWL , Mr. Snowflakes, for our shoot. The way this man's mind thinks is incredible. This was awesome. Thanks PM.

[@antongolovko1149]

A photographer that doesn't want to talk about cameras, that's different

[@juanQuedo]

Photographers at the top of the "standard" industry, the ones that make the big bucks usually don't give a crap about cameras. They already know that the camera is not important. There is plenty of interviews with top photographers that they don't even remember the model they have or they still having models of 6, 8 years ago. If they need an specific feature, they rent what they need.

[@zimbaaabwe]

WOW!!! loved this video! You're the best for putting out this amazing piece. Amazing!

[@blinktattoostudio]

Thanks for sharing this story with us @Peter McKinnon. As a creative and tattoo artist, I’m mind blown by the creative energy that surrounds such amazing people. What strikes me even more is his humble approach towards the hierarchy of things that are of importance to him. Things that are driven by emotional value, not monetary volume, much like a kid whose playground consists of toys and games that fuel his creativeness. Amazing story. Extraordinary individual! Thanks for sharing ✌️

[@SteveField]

When a notification pops in from Peter McKinnon YT.....No I'm not instantly distracted at all 🤦‍♂work can just wait!! 😂😂
